HelpKeighley
Sorry to post yet again but I just read this, its wierd because its the name of my town.
Im assuming its prononced Kay-leigh ( or something like that)
But in Keighley its prononced Keith-Lee. Anyway just curious what you thought of it.

Pronounced, kei-lee. Well, that's how I pronounce it anyways. I have two friends called Kayleigh. Much prettier.

For me it is a last name (i know someone who has this as a last name)

My first guess would probably be KEY-lee. Like rhyming with Leigh. But KAY-lee makes sense too.
Keith-lee though, how odd. I would never put a "th" sound in there.

I take it since she said "but in Keighley" that Keighley is a town.
Since Leigh can be spelled with the "eigh" as "ee" I would say Keighley as kee-lee. It's possible that the "th" sound is just the local accent... seeing as it's in West Yorkshire, I want to say it's the accent :)
Not like Leicester (which is les-ter for those who don't know) which has a weird pronunciation but it's the same pronunciation everywhere.

Not really....
I'm from Scotland and living in Newcastle, and I saw Keith-lee. It's just what it's called.
